Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 12, 1918.

Application filed April 14, 1917. Serial No. 161,981.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES G. HiLL, a citizen of the United States, residingin the county of Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented a certain new and useful Razor-Blotter, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved razor blotter and has for its object the providing of a razor blotter to clean a razor by blotting, thus prolonging its period of usefulness.

A further object of my invention is the providing of a razor blotter to, clean both sides of a razor blade simultaneously.

A further object of my invention is the providing of a new article of manufacture comprisinga blotting surface provided with a support tending to maintain a definite formed shape.

A further object of my improvement is the providing of a shaped blotter for drying razors or razor blades comprising a blotting surface integral with a supporting surface and provided with means of normally maintaining the two adjacent surfaces in juxtaposition normally separated.

IVith the foregoing and other objects in view my invention consists of the novel onstruction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter specifically described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein is shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which come within the scope of the claim hereunto appended.

In the drawing of the herein described embodiment of my invention:

Figure 1, shows the simplest form of my improvement in the finished sha e ready for use. Fig. 2, is a plan view 0 the blotter shown in Fig. 1, before forming into shape. Fig. 3, is a modified form of a blotter formed into shape ready for use, and Fig. 4. is a section taken through A. B. of Fig. 3.

Similar numerals refer to simila throughout the several views.

1 is the blotter surface. 2 is the support. The blotter surface and support may be a sleeve or sheath into which spring 3 ma be inserted. 3 is the sprin or stifiener, which in Fig. 1 is placed wit in the blotter and support, and bent into shape. 4. is means for hanging the blotter up when in use and parts may consist of a string or other suitable appliance.

Stiflening member or spring 3 may consist of metal or a sized non-metallic substance. Blotting surface 1 may be made of blotting paper or other absorbent material.

In use the razor blade is inserted between the blotting surfaces, and pressure is applied to the supports with the thumb and fin er thus bringing the blotting surfaces toget er upon theblade.

Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is An improved blotter consisting of a sheath of material having a blotting surface and a strip of stiffening material inclosed within, said blotter folded upon itself for blotting purposesv thus having within itself means tending to maintain said blotting surfaces in a formed position.
